Global direct selling company QNET has strongly denied recent accusations linking it to human trafficking and illegal migration in Ghana and Burkina Faso, calling the claims “entirely unfounded” and a misrepresentation of its legitimate business operations.
The company clarified its non-involvement in an incident in Assin Fosu, Ghana, where a Burkinabe national was arrested for allegedly trafficking foreign nationals under the guise of employment opportunities falsely associated with QNET.
QNET stressed that it does not provide jobs, migration services, or overseas employment assistance. Instead, it operates as a direct-selling e-commerce platform enabling individuals to become independent distributors of wellness and lifestyle products.
“Any misuse of the QNET name in fraudulent activities occurs without our authorization and contradicts our strict ethical standards,” the company stated, praising the Ghana Police Service for swift intervention.
In a humanitarian gesture, QNET partnered with the Burkinabe Embassy in Ghana, INTERPOL, and other stakeholders to facilitate the safe repatriation of 22 Burkinabe nationals, including victims and suspects, in late May 2025. This operation underscores QNET’s commitment to community welfare and cooperation with law enforcement.
Biram Fall, QNET’s Regional General Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to ethical business practices and protecting individuals from exploitation.
QNET called on media and the public to prioritize accurate reporting to avoid harming victims and legitimate businesses, emphasizing its ongoing collaboration with authorities to combat fraud and raise public awareness about its true business model.
